Only at weekends.

I think my first post may have been misunderstood, I was born in south manchester but now reside in the city centre. I went for the south as that is where I am 'from'.

RedNome · 9th May 2008, 01:41

I'm confused now.

Think I should go to bed.

Lived in Longsight/Gorton area when my dad was working there. Can't remember anything about the place hardly. Never returned to that area when I've gone back to the UK.

There's no 'C' in Dukinfield, although there probably should be...

Eyepopper · 9th May 2008, 13:05

Does Ireland count as "west" or "south west"

mosesfromtala · 9th May 2008, 22:11

dublin is west, i think you are south west

Johnno · 10th May 2008, 11:55

You know what I hate, when someone says they're from Salford, or Stockport or Trafford or whatever and some sad cunt says "then you're not from Manchester".
The City fans like to use this propaganda a lot...

Sparkle · 12th May 2008, 18:34

I clicked on Salford before reading the descriptors. I'm on the Swinton side of the Swinton/Worsley border. Where do I fit Geebs? I'm all confused.

golden_blunder · 12th May 2008, 18:37

Sparkle · 12th May 2008, 18:39

I'm sticking with Salford. The lid of my wheely bins are pink so that's good enough for me....

golden_blunder · 12th May 2008, 18:46

Salford wheelie bins are pink?

Just the lids of the ones for garden waste. You also get a black one, a brown one and a blue one.

It's a very ecologically sound area you know

golden_blunder · 12th May 2008, 18:50

but...but...its pink

Sparkle · 12th May 2008, 18:51

Most of Salford's stuff is pink.

Salford is tough and hard enough to be able to wear pink without looking like a screaming bender of a town. It's secure enough in it's own sexuality...

ZIDANE · 12th May 2008, 18:56

Salford Council went pink that's why. The have a lot of banners and signs that are pink. It's all the regeneration and all that especially the whole BBC media centre place that's being developed.

South Manchester here, name gives it away! Born in Bury originally though.

Martin Henry · 23rd May 2008, 19:46

Well I was born in Chorlton-on-Medlock and now reside in Fallowfield, always South Manchester for me, I'm actually a bit surprised that so many of you are from North Manchester, surprised but glad...

Word!

I lived in Little Hulton and was about 100 yards from the motorway bridge that ran over to Farnworth....(New Bury to be exact....skanky place). On my side of the bridge everyone had a Salford accent....cross to the other side and they all talk like Peter Kay. Weird.

In other news....

I was born and raised for the first 5 years of my life in Salford....then moved to L/H in the early 80's overspill....i have now lived in Stretford for the last 5 years.

Where does that put me?

My heart says Salford...

Using this brilliant logic, then Old Trafford, Salford Cathedral, etc. are not in Manchester either, and Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament are not in London aint it?
